I wish they'd announce a release date already... Are they avoiding several delays? Maybe it's better this way, but having some sort of idea when to expect it would be lovely.

How [censored] big it this game!!! Holy crap!!!!!

Good stuff

Definite release date window is June 2016 now. Finally have something to mark on my calendar. New trailer dropped too:

Seems like Sony secured as an outright exclusive.

I hope a pistol is not the only weapon.

Thought that this was always the case?

The assumption was timed exclusive of some sorts. Sony has never attached PS4 Exclusive to the game before. At least not from what I recall.

PS4 and PC release simultaneous.

Yeah there is a STEAM page for the game and everything.

And with Win10 and streaming play, it will be on XB1 as well

Oh man, that's actually hilarious...

I wasnt implying otherwise. Its been a PC game before it was ever a PS4 game.

@Sinn so when you used the phrase "outright exclusive" what did you mean? To me and obviously Mr Hat and probably a couple of others it meant, "Sony's PS4 is the only platform on which you can play this highly anticipated game".

That is a fair assumption. I am not saying you are wrong to believe that.

I talk primarily in console gaming, maybe I should be more clear on that.

What I meant was that NMS, which seemed like it was going to be a timed exclusive is now an exclusive game. I used 'outright' to refer to the fact that it moved from one exclusive stance to a more definitive one.

But yes it is on PC: Sony is embracing the console exclusive + PC model since neither are in competition. Which is a good thing I think.

I think console exclusivity to PS4 is linked with the Microsoft parity clause or whatever it's called. That thing that makes indie developers unhappy.

Sony is publishing the game, that is why it is exclusive I am sure.

I dont think that clause exists anymore. There has not been a peep about it from anyone for a very long time. Maybe it did help the decision but Sony is the PS4 publisher, something they are not for many other early indie games that are exclusive to them.

What's the MS parity clause?

Okay, maybe my info is outdated. My first idea of it was along these lines.

Basically it was along the lines of Xbox pushing for exclusivity with indie games, etc. In a way that prevented those indies from affording to be on Xbox and other platforms, and because of this the indies chose Playstation over Xbox.

Now I'm reading this, and it seems they're understanding why it's a harmful policy.

June 21st seems to be the release date on PS4. Physical release as well.
